SULETS is a lettings service designed specifically for students and works in partnership with the University of Leicester Students Union. They are a not-for-profit agency created through a partnership between the University of Leicester Students' Union and DeMontfort University Students' Union.
It is the only lettings agency endorsed by the Students’ Union for private-rented. accommodation in Leicester.
As well as individual student houses, SULETS manages some purpose-built accommodation sites near the University.

SULETS staff are available to assist with all the elements of property choice – what to look for, what to do about council tax, how to budget and to stay safe. They can also accompany you on viewings and help you to book the right accommodation for your time in Leicester.
SULETS work closely with landlords to ensure that the high quality properties they offer are safe and secure. They carry out regular inspections and are available to deal with any necessary repairs and maintenance.
Other private providers
Alongside SULETS, there are many other private providers that offer purpose-built flats.
The University does not endorse any particular organisation over another, and we encourage you to do your own research. These are a few options some students make enquiries with:
- Code Students
- Homes for Students
- Student Beehive
- Student Roost
- Unite Students
University Accommodation
It’s worth remembering, that although private flats are like living in halls, the University has no jurisdiction over these properties, so we cannot intervene if you encounter any issues with your flatmates or the private provider.
The University has its own accommodation at The Village and The City, and you can stay here again even after your first year! The Village is a 15 minute bus journey from campus (or 45 minute walk). The City is closer to campus and around 10-15 minutes walk from campus.
You’ll be living with other University of Leicester students, so it’s a great way to get to know other people. You can make a group application to stay with your friends. You also won’t have to worry about bills – all costs are included.
If any problems do occur, our Accommodation Team are available in University-managed accommodation 24/7!
